Fancy Frugal Wedding Centerpieces & Sign










T-25 days until my little brother's wedding day! I've been happily working on a few wedding projects that I wanted to share. Here is the centerpiece idea we came up with for around $10 a table.








I found this place mat for $.50 at Goodwill and cut the sticks up and hot glued to a cream candle. I might try to find some bark for a similar look.








These craft pumpkins are just $3.99 at Michael's right now. The cream ones are wedding-ish right?! Love em!







I was inspired by this blog post from A Pumpkin and a Princess, and cut out a circle for a tea light. Simple and so fall! You bet I'll be doing these for my house too!






A glass jar with a floating candle....You can find lots of mason jars at thrift stores for around $1.00.



Fall...rustic....cheap and simple...perfect for a rustic outdoor wedding!










The bride showed me a pic of a little boy holding a sign that says "Here comes the bride", and I recreated it for the wedding. My son will be holding the ring pillow and the bride's three year old nephew will be holding this sign!







I started with a light weight tray from Goodwill for $2.00. Remember these? My parents still have these bamboo trays...


I spray painted it Oregano by Rustoleum and then painted the letters white.


Here's a photo montage of some of my completed projects! I'm pretty much in love with this wedding!











That's it for now!
